Nothing good came out of the Nets’ loss Saturday to the wretched Raptors.

Admittedly, they looked sloppy, sluggish and out-of-sorts. They looked as if they had slapped together their team a second before tip-off. And it was a low point in a season in which low points are starting to pile up.

Arguably worse, though it doesn’t look as if this will happen, the Nets may have lost Vince Carter. In Saturday’s third quarter, Rafael Araujo stepped on Carter’s right foot, causing Carter to fall to the floor clutching his ankle. Carter left the game but later returned.

Now it looks as if it was more serious than a simple twist of the ankle. His knee was injured as well.

Carter underwent an MRI Sunday to see if there was any structural damage. Though results were negative, Carter is still iffy for tomorrow’s game in Charlotte.

“It’s from the same thing,” said Carter, referring to when he hurt his ankle. “I didn’t feel it until after the game. [The knee] started to hurt a little bit, swell up a little bit. It was a rough night . . . The ankle was hurting, but the knee didn’t bother me. Even in the media room, nothing bothered me.

Now to the abomination that was Saturday’s game. No one could say a nice thing about the team’s play after the game, and after a day off Sunday, they provided even less glowing reviews.

“The Toronto game better be an aberration,” said coach Lawrence Frank, who was particularly perturbed after the 95-82 loss. “It was a collective, very poor effort all the way around. There’s no one in there that could say, ‘Hey look, I played well.’ ”

Said Jason Kidd: “Even though we lost to Detroit, we thought we were going in the right direction and to come back against Toronto, we looked like we haven’t been together or haven’t been practicing.”

If admitting you have a problem is half the battle, then fixing it is obviously the other half. The Nets believe they know how to do this. Against Toronto, they gave up 39 second-half points compared to 56 in the first half.

“That was a tale of two different teams,” said Kidd. “We didn’t play hard. We played hard for 24 minutes, and that was in the second half.”
